H3K27M induces defective chromatin spread of PRC2-mediated repressive H3K27me2/me3 and is essential for glioma tumorigenesis

Lysine27-to-methionine mutations in histone H3 genes (H3K27M) occur in a subgroup of gliomas and decrease genome-wide H3K27 trimethylation. Here the authors utilise primary H3K27M tumour lines and isogenic CRISPR-edited controls and show that H3K27M induces defective chromatin spread of PRC2-mediate...
